Big INT by defense

 

[Paolo305613]

TD to Parker as he bails out the QB to give him a good target to throw -- probably a fluke of a play.

Beautiful catch by Parker guy all over him! Tua settling in takes time when you are out that long.

 

[Paolo305613]

Almost an INT for Howard

 

[Paolo305613]

And Gaskin fumbles on the first carry of the next drive

 

[Paolo305613]

Dolphins defense to the rescue - strip, fumble returned for TD

 

[Paolo305613]

Van Ginkel showing his worth now that he is healthy again. What a find.

 

[Paolo305613]

Grant to the house to keep the offense of the field.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Grant looks like he's back!

 

[Paolo305613]

Grant looks like he's back!

Great vision allowed him to break that one

 

[Paolo305613]

Eric Row all over that play before the snap to get the INT

 

[Paolo305613]

Two big drops for the Dolphins on this drive -- not the best of throws on either one of those -- especially the third down play

 

[Paolo305613]

Another much needed big play by the defense

 

[Paolo305613]

Gaskin capitalizes on the turnover

 

[Paolo305613]

It will be a 28-10 lead for the Dolphins into the half. The defense and special teams have done their part to this point. The offense will have to get itself going to keep this up -- and the defense must not relent. As bad as Goff and the Rams have been -- they could flip a switch at any moment and make this a game.

 

[Paolo305613]

Not great execution on third and 1 -- not the best play call either

 

[Paolo305613]

8/15 for 60 yars not what we should want from so called franchise qb/player -- 5th overall pick but probably what we shouldve expected.

 

[Paolo305613]

Here come the Rams -- this could shift if the Dolphins cant get the offense going

 

[Paolo305613]

Rams botch the FG. And that should do it -- Dolphins defense and special teams carry Tua to his first win after an unsurprising, unimpressive performance. It is on to face the Cardinals now.

 

[Paolo305613]

With stats like that, the Dolphins may not have a franchise QB yet -- that is yet to be found, but what they do seem to have is a game-manager.
